State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) consists of two sub-programs:

  1. Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) funded with 25% of new STIP funding. It is proposed by the Department and approved by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
  2. Regional Improvement Program (RIP) funded with 75% of new STIP funding. It is proposed by the regions and approved by the CTC.

20.XX.025 – STIP - INTERREGIONAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (IIP)

Goal – To Implement State Highway projects included in the Interregional Improvement Program (IIP). No Expenditures should take place at this level (20.XX.025.000).

Definition - The Interregional Improvement Program (IIP) includes mainly capacity-enhancing projects on the state highways that facilitate the interregional movement of people, vehicles, and goods. Only projects planned on State highways are to be included in this program. Separate PECT codes are provided for 1998 STIP grandfathered projects versus new or additional programming commitments beginning with the 1998 STIP cycle.

Interregional Improvement Program projects planned off the State highway system, mass transit guideways, or grade separation and intercity rail projects are included in 20.30, 30.10 or 30.20 programs.

Proposition 1B (P1B) of 2006 provided one-time funds to augment the STIP (Government Code 8879.23 (e)).

Fund Types - IIP funds are typically split between Federal Trust Funds and State Highway Transportation Funds. Funding code for Federal funds should be 0890 with an “F” at the end of the appropriation unit. Funding code 0042 should be used on the state funding line without any letter at the end of the appropriation unit.

For P1B funded STIP augmentation, fund code 6058 should be used without any letter at the end of appropriation unit. P1B funds are limited to construction capital and construction support.

20.XX.201.999 – Sustainability and Complete Streets

20.XX.201.010 – Safety Improvements

The primary purpose of this program is to reduce the number or severity of collisions on the existing State Highway System. Projects with Safety Index above 200 qualify as safety improvement projects. Projects may be spot locations where collision history indicates a pattern susceptible to correction by a safety improvement, such as but not limited to traffic (school zone signals included), wet pavement corrections, curve corrections, shoulder widening, left turn channelization, etc. All proposed projects will be verified by HQ Office of Performance in The Division of Traffic Operations, before being certified as safety improvement projects.

This task also includes sites identified in monitoring programs to reduce accidents for motorists, such as for wrong way collisions, Multilane Cross Median Collisions, Two-and Three-lane Cross Center Line Collisions, and run-off-the-road accidents etc. In addition, it also includes non-motorized modes, such as for pedestrians and bicyclists.

It does not include relocation of existing highways or projects that would add new through lanes or upgrade existing highways to a higher classification such as conventional to expressway regardless of the safety benefits. This task does not include projects where the prime purpose is reducing congestion. Replacement of worn out appurtenances is Facility and Restoration.

Improving a highway, generally on existing alignment, to improve standards of width, grade, alignment or other geometric consideration is New Highway Construction that is included in STIP programs.

20.XX.201.015 – Collision Severity Reduction

The primary purpose of this program is to upgrade existing highway safety features within the clear recovery area of the roadbed that will lead to reduced collisions and/or severity of collisions. Projects will include installation of new guardrail end treatments and crash cushions, install rumble strips, glare screen, rock fall mitigation, over crossing pedestrian fencing, crosswalk safety enhancements, and improvements that prevent roadway departure.

The intent of this program is to be proactive in enhancing the safety of the State Highway System. As such, this program will not be subject to a Safety Index (SI) analysis, but will define numeric quantities that will be achieved for each of the categories of situations. Projects will be prioritized based on the projected collision severity reduction benefits.

20.XX.201.020 – Upgrade Median Barriers

The primary purpose of this program element is to upgrade existing cable and metal barriers with concrete median barrier to minimize maintenance required to maintain these median barriers on high volume urban freeways. This will lead to reduced worker exposure. This program is intended for all freeways that have existing cable or double metal medium barrier in the median.

20.XX.201.110 – Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement

The primary purpose of this program element is to restore or replace structures when, due to deterioration or other causes, they become inadequate as identified through the bridge inspection program. The rehabilitation needs are assigned urgency for completion based on condition or structural vulnerability. This urgency is combined with traffic volume, bypass detour length and overall condition of the bridge to determine the utility function value component for rehabilitation.

Included is work to meet standards as required under ADA and CAL OSHA and work required to restore or replace appurtenances attached to structures for use in maintenance, such as inspection walkways, movable scaffolds, and air and water service lines.

Major transportation structures include bridges, tunnels, tubes, ferryboats, and the mechanical and electrical machinery associated therewith.

20.XX.201.111 – Bridge Scour Mitigation

The primary purpose of this program element is to mitigate scour at bridges to minimize future flood damage. Floods scouring bed material from around the bridge foundations is the most common cause of bridge collapse. If rehabilitation or replacement is initiated other than a scour critical situation, the action is to be covered by the initiating program. This program may also include any necessary monitoring projects that are necessary to collect data that will show when the bridge becomes scour critical and requires further action.

20.XX.201.112 – Bridge Rail Replacement and Upgrade

The primary purpose of this program element is to bring all non-crashworthy bridge rails up to current Federal standards. The program will identify the number and locations of non-crashworthy rails and develop an implementation plan to bring these rails to the current standards. Bridge rail upgrades will not be covered by this program, when they are part of any bridge rehabilitation or replacement initiated by any other action or need. Those upgrades are to be covered by the initiating program.

20.XX.201.113 – Bridge Seismic Restoration

The primary purpose of this program element is to mitigate seismic vulnerabilities of bridges. This program is to provide the restoration of those bridges when the restoration is primarily for seismic purposes. Bridges being upgraded or rehabilitated for other purposes, which also have a secondary seismic benefit, are to be covered by the initiating program.

20.XX.201.114 – Bridge Widening

The primary purpose of this program element is to perform bridge widening that were deferred from other projects as part of a commitment to the FHWA to receive funding for the original project. Effective July 1, 2002, any new commitments made to defer a bridge widening will be programmed under the same program that initiated the original project.

20.XX.201.119 – Capital Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program

This program is authorized under the 2007 Maintenance 5-Year Plan as an annual reservation under the 2008 SHOPP beginning July 1, 2008.

The primary purpose of this program is to perform timely actions to delay major rehabilitation for structures. Projects funded by this program may include deck treatments, deck joint and seal repair/replacement, deck protective overlays, painting, and other preventative work as approved by the Structure Maintenance and Investigations HQ Bridge SHOPP Program Advisor.

20.XX.201.120 – Roadway Rehabilitation 3R - DIB 79

The primary purpose of this program element is to rehabilitate roadways that ride rougher than established maximums and/or exhibit substantial structural problems. Work incidental to pavement rehabilitation or replacement of other highway appurtenances which are failing, worn out or functionally obsolete; such as drainage facilities, retaining walls, lighting, signal controllers, and fencing may be included in 20.XX.201.120 projects.

Exclusions: Projects whose primary scope is replacement or rehabilitation of culverts or drainage systems fall under the 20.XX.201.151 task (Drainage System Rehabilitation). Damage to highway facilities tied to a natural disaster, catastrophic event, or other natural-or-human-caused sudden damage fall under the 20.XX.201.130 task. Projects whose scope is to protect facilities from future catastrophic events fall under the 20.XX.201.150 task.

A roadway or appurtenance that is rehabilitated under this task provides at least 20 years of service life with relatively low maintenance expenditures. Rehabilitation, with its provision to restore the facility to a state of good condition, is distinct from maintenance which simply repairs or preserves the facility in a safe and usable condition.

Roadway Rehabilitation Projects must first qualify for rehabilitation on the basis of existing Pavement Management System ( PaveM) criteria. Generally a deflection study must also support the work on - asphalt pavements – including ramps.

Traffic safety and operational improvements may be added to rehabilitation work if the work is justified by accident statistics or are required by Federal 3R Standards to qualify the project for federal funding.

Other work (geometric corrections, widening, etc.) may be added to rehabilitation work, if the work would have a high enough priority to be funded in its own program and the Roadway Rehabilitation work is more than 50 percent of the total project cost. Full discussion of what to fund or not fund through this program can be found in Design Information Bulletin 79.

20.XX.201.121 – Pavement Preservation - DIB 81

The primary purpose of the 121 (also known as Capital Preventive Maintenance or CAPM) program is a bridging Minor Rehabilitation program for pavements which need more repair than can be accomplished with Routine or Preventive Maintenance (HM), but do not yet warrant full Roadway Rehabilitation (3R) or Pavement Rehabilitation (2R).

The program is defined as pavement preservation, per Federal guidelines, and is closest in definition to light rehabilitation in the Federal definitions. As such it is viewed more as maintaining the existing pavement, rather than a structural upgrade like full rehabilitation.

Minimum 80% of the project cost for pavement is derived from the costs needed to pave the existing road along with associated traffic control, contract administrative costs and pedestrian curb ramps where warranted. The remaining 20% includes costs for paving work beyond CAPM program such as worker safety, replacing sign panels, electrical repairs, minor operational improvements (new guardrail, drainage repair), other ADA upgrades, etc...

By definition, this program does not include or require widening, realignment, or major ADA upgrades. Roads which would need this work to be done, would be classified under the appropriate program code for that work. Full discussion of what to fund or not fund through CAPM program can be found in Design Information Bulletin 81.

20.XX.201.122 – Pavement Rehabilitation 2R - DIB 79-03

The primary purpose of the 122 (2R) program is a rehabilitation program for roadways which do not require major geometric upgrades. Pavement requirements and standards are identical to 120 projects.
